Guilt And Madness Flashcards
Neptunes oceans
Feels guilty
Won’t clear the blood of his hands
Juxtaposes later when it is lady Macbeth can’t clear her hands
Turns to the Roman god instead of his own as he has gone against him by killing
A little water will clear us of this deed
Juxtaposes when she can’t wash the blood off
Sleep no more Macbeth does murder sleep
Amen
Can’t sleep due to what he has done
Murdered Duncan in his sleep whilst her was ‘innocent’
Can’t say amen as he has gone against god
The earth was feverous and did shake
Natural order has been distrupted
The start of strange occurrences
She has light by her continuously
Out damn spot
Can’t wash blood of her hands
Scared of the dark
Needs light by her
Out damn spot
Parallels before went Lady Macbeth thought it was easy to wash away the blood
Alas poor country
Scotland is sick under Macbeth’s ruling
What is done cannot be undone
Final words of Lady Macbeth in the play
no matter how much she repent the violence and death can’t be undone
All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this hand
Metaphor can’t take the guilt of blood away because what she has done so bad
Hyperbole smells so bad nothing will replace it
